Best way to build new WordPress Site before transfering domain

Hi,
I have a domain currently hosted by another service. I want to build a WordPress site on webhostinghub.com. When it is ready to go live, I want to transfer my domain to webhostinghub.com and have my WordPress site use this domain.

What is the best way to do this? Do I need to buy a &quot;temporary&quot; domain on webhostinghub.com, and then when my WordPress site is ready, transfer the site from the temporary domain to my current domain?

Since you already have a domain registered and hosted elsewhere, it shouldn't be necessary to register another domain name. While looking into this for you, it looks like this would be an Addon domain for your account. You can create the Addon domain in cPanel and it will not affect your live site and domain until the domain is pointed to our Nameservers (this is a separate step from transferring the domain registration).
